“I was in a car accident and the airbag injured my chest and shoulder and chest. Thee seat belt cut my neck . I have been driving fords all my life and was a satisfied customer.

“In a crash involving a front end collision where a truck turned left striking our EDGE in the front left, the air bags did not deploy. We were traveling about 25 MPH and the other vehicle at about 15-20 MPH. My wife suffered a fractured leg and I back issues. The crash was severe enough to total the vehicle. It happened so fast I did not apply brakes. The other vehicle was an older dodge dakota pickup.”

“For about 3 days the message kept coming on that the front passenger airbag was not working. The on/off light said off about 98% of the time. And a icon light in the dashboard would occasionally come on. The message said the sensor was blocked, but there wasn't any change in the area around the seat. Went to service the 2/19 and they said they could not find anything wrong. It actually turned back on when I drove in to drop it at service, of course. But we did go about 3 days with no airbag for some reason. Just felt I should report this before it becomes a problem.”

NHTSA complaint #10567703, filed 2014-03, 14,200 miles

“The dash area where the passenger air bag is located has begun to crack. The entire right side of the air bag square has separated. Also, when stopping the vehicle at a stop light, in traffic, etc., there is a strong odor of gasoline, especially if the fuel tank is less than full.”
